Hunting AI animals in Ecos La Brea: a guide to successful stealth hunts. While they might seem easier targets than player characters, AI animals can be surprisingly elusive. Master these techniques for a successful hunt.
- Sprinting: Instantly fills the meter.
- Running: Rapidly fills the meter.
- Trotting: Fills the meter at a moderate pace.
- Walking: Fills the meter very slowly – ideal for approaching your target.
Wind direction is crucial. Approaching downwind will spook the animal faster, while crosswind is less risky. The best approach is upwind.
Pay close attention to the question mark that occasionally appears above the animal icon. Movement while the question mark is visible will rapidly fill the meter. Halt completely until it disappears.
The meter will likely fill before you reach the AI. Be ready to sprint when it flees. AI animals are fast, but sprinting should allow you to catch up. Their movement is unpredictable, so practice in open areas with minimal obstacles for better visibility.
To secure your prey, get extremely close to initiate a bite. Once you've subdued the animal, drop and eat it. Repeat this hunting cycle until you're satisfied.
